ND he rushed into the wigwam, 

Saw the old Nokomis slowly 
Rocking to and fro, and moaning; 
Saw his lovely Minnehaha 
Lying dead and cold before him ; 

And his bursting heart within him 
Uttered such a cry of anguish 
That the forest moaned and shuddered, 
That the very stars in heaven 
Shook and trembled with his anguish. 



Death of Minnehaha. 




Then he sat down, still and speechless, 
On the bed of Minnehaha, 

At the feet of Laughing Water. 

At those willing feet, that never 
More would lightly run to meet him, 

Never more would lightly follow. 

With both hands his face he covered, 
Seven long days and nights he sat there, 

As if in a swoon he sat there, 

Speechless, motionless, unconscious 
Of the daylight or the darkness.

present. C 

Our schools are not only for the beginner, but for j 
the practitioner as well. * 

In the profession of Embalming, as in other call- * 
ings, perfection can never be attained. Only he r 

who applies himself most diligently can hope to ♦ 
achieve the highest success. i 

The progressive physician takes a post-graduate ? 
course occasionally in order to keep up with the ad- 2 
vancement constantly being made in his profession, p 
It is equally important that the Embalmer should T 
do the same, as new ideas are continually being ad- 5 
vanced and new methods discovered.

will carry you onward and upward in your profes¬ 
sion. 

Grasp all the knowledge on the subject that is pos¬ 
sible ; your work will be made easier in con¬ 
sequence. 

We teach and explain the morbid anatomy of the 
body in a manner easily comprehended by all. 

If the Embalmer understands the morbid condi¬ 
tion of his subject, and uses the proper means and 
methods, he will have no failures. 

We will demonstrate that the best fluids of to-day 
are not failures; that they will destroy all germs of j 
contagion, infection and putrefaction, and will pre- ' 
serve all kinds of tissue if properly used. 

Special attention will be given to those who wish 
to prepare for an examination before a State Board 
of Embalming or State Board of Health.

Gentlemen: We are using Champion Embalming Fluid, 
and look for nothing better. We have used all the different 
kinds in many difficult cases and find that the Champion is 
the most reliable. It never gives us any uneasiness in the 
most complicated cases. Yours truly, WEBB & CO.

Dear Sirs: I have used your fluid for years, and I cer¬ 
tainly cannot ask for anything better than Champion. I have 
given it such tests as would try the merits of any fluid, and 
Champion has never failed me. Embalmers will make no 
mistake in using Champion Fluid to the exclusion of every 
other kind. Respectfully yours, JOSEPH C. O’BRIEN.

1890, giving it some very telling tests in all kinds of weather 
with utmost success. We cheerfully and heartily recommend 
Champion. None better. Respectfully yours,

Springfield, 0., March 13. 1896. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: Last August, during very hot weather, 1 em¬ 
balmed a body with Champion Fluid, held here two days, and 
then shipped to Atlanta, Ga. It arrived there on Friday, and 
a church funeral was held on Sunday, and the body viewed 
by a large number of friends. The body was well preserved, 
and presented a lifelike and natural appearance. I have 
used different kinds of fluids, but like Champion best of all. 

Yours very truly, W. H. DICKSON. 
**** 

Springfield, 0., June 10, 1896. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: Last week we had three cases which gave 
Champion Fluid unusually severe tests. The first was that of 
a prominent educator, who died after a lingering illness of 
blood poison ; the second of a young lady, who died after a 
brief sickness of meningitis ; and the third of a well-known 
lady who died at a hospital of cancer. “What a beautiful 
corpse.’’ “ How lifelike.’’ “ 1 never saw anything like it.” 
“Looked handsomer than in life.” Such were some of the 
remarks heard at the funerals. In the second case the body 
had become perfectly black, and in the last it was perfectly 
yellow. But Champion Fluid sustained its previous reputa¬ 
tion as a perfect bleacher, as well as preserver and disinfectant. 
Yours sincerely WILLIAM ROLLER, 

Assistant to Webb & Co.

0 The Trade 


We take pleasure in present¬ 
ing you with our latest and 
most complete Catalogue of 
everything required by the 
Embalmer. 

There has been a continual demand for Improved Instruments 
and Sundries used in the art, and we are able to furnish Embalmers 
with the latest, best and most complete line known to the profession. 

Many of the instruments described are our own special produc¬ 
tion and manufacture, and are guaranteed superior to any hitherto 
offered to the trade. In fact, the increasing demand for superior goods 
has stimulated us to engage in their manufacture. 

With many thanks for past favors, we courteously solicit a 
careful perusal of the following pages and a share of your business.

Revised 1899 Edition. 

The large edition of this Catalogue issued in J 89 6 was completely exhausted 
in two years, making a new edition an absolute necessity. We have taken 
advantage of the opportunity to make some needed revision and to add a number 
of new and desirable articles to our already unequaled line. 

Representing, as it does, "The leading Embalmers' Supply House in 
America," a title justly claimed and willingly conceded, our Catalogue easily main¬ 
tains its position as the finest and most complete one ever issued to the Trade. 

In this edition the arrangement and paging of the original has been in 
the main maintained, while articles not in the original edition are indicated by a

IGHTEEN YEARS AGO we began to compound Champion Embalming 
Fluid, and in all this time it has been our constant study to make the 
best. That we have succeeded in our endeavor is attested by our 
continually increasing trade. 

Champion is Up to Date. 

The result of our ceaseless, watchful care and practical experience 
is embraced in this Fluid. There is no better Fluid made than 
Champion. If science produces a new chemical that possesses good embalming quali¬ 
ties, or if any better way to make Embalming Fluid is discovered, Champion is 
always the first to receive the benefit. 

Champion has the Largest Sale. 

We are the largest compounders of Embalming Fluid in the world, and we cannot 
expect to command trade unless we furnish a satisfactory article. But this is exactly 
the kind that we do furnish. Hence our success. Hence our mammoth sales. Hence 
your continued patronage 

Champion Succeeds Where Others Fail. 

The worst cases, in hot weather, under bad conditions, have been kept for days and 
weeks by using Champion Fluid. If you have a case to be shipped a long distance, 
Champion is the Fluid to use every time, and the corpse will arrive at its destina¬ 
tion looking more lifelike, if possible, than when started on its journey. 




Champion Goes Straight to the Spot. 

Use Champion arterially, in the cavities, as a bleacher, deodorizer, disinfectant, pre¬ 
server, undiluted, and it is bound to go to the spot. No other Fluid acts so swiftly, so 
perfectly, nor so satisfactorily. 

Champion is Used by the Leading Embalmers. 

The leading Embalmers all over the United States use and recommend Champion 
Embalming Fluid. We publish on the opposite page and the following pages a few of 
the hundreds of testimonials which we have recently received from users of Champion 
from forty States of the Union. Read them, and see what Champion does. 

Champion is the Best All Around Fluid. Use no Other.

EWARE OF FALSE ECONOMY. 

xjxsxj 

CHAMPION EMBALMING FLUID 

IS A CHEAP FLUID 


Not Dpr A TTCP ^ costs less than other fluids, 

But it goes further and gives better satisfaction. 


v Low price and economy—whatever some people may think—are by no means synony¬ 
mous terms. On the contrary, low price generally means high cost and indifferent success. 
In nothing is this more evident than in the case of Embalming Fluid. 

A CHEAP FLUID IS A POOR FLUID, 

AND . . . 

A POOR FLUID IS DEAR AT ANY PRICE 

Another thing worthy to note is the fact that many manufacturers, after making cheap 
fluids for years, have discontinued them, and are now placing higher priced fluids on the 
market. This is one of the strongest arguments against cheap fluids. 

CHAMPION EMBALMING FLUID 

Has long been recognized by the leading Embalmers of the country 
as the highest attainment of chemical science as applied to em¬ 
balming. 

You want a perfectly safe Fluid—one that can be relied upon 
at all times and under all circumstances—in summer as well as 
winter—in difficult cases as well as easy ones. 

All chemicals used in Champion Fluid are subjected to the 
most rigid tests before compounding. You need not feel any un¬ 
easiness when using Champion. 

CHAMPION FULFILLS EVERY REQUIREMENT. 

It is an excellent bleacher as well as preserver. You need only one kind of Fluid 
when you use Champion. 

We have found no necessity to change our Fluid every three or four months, or 
every year, as some manufacturers do. There has been no groping in the dark in the 
manufacture or use of Champion Fluid. 

The Champion has always been, is now, and we intend it to remain 

THE BEST FLUID MADE.

kept him two days here; the weather was very warm and 
sultry. We shipped the remains to Citronelle Alabama, and 
when opened they looked better, if anything, than when they 
left Chicago. As a bleacher it has no equal, and does not 
corrode your aspirator, nor need you be afraid of soiling a 
Brussels carpet, should any accidentally get on. I can 
heartily recommend it as an all-around fluid.

Ok Champion Cext-Book on embalming 

Is the work of one of the most competent and progressive members of the profession in 
America, Dr. Eliab Myers, lecturer and demonstrator of the Champion College of Embalming, 


assisted by F. A Sullivan. 

Dr. Myers is a graduate of 
the Ohio Medical College, Cin¬ 
cinnati; has had twenty years’ 
successful practice in medicine and 
surgery, and a large experience in 
general embalming through his 
connection with the Champion 
Chemical Co. as vice-president 
and special traveling representa¬ 
tive during the past six years. He 
is thus better qualified to write on 
such branches as Anatomy, Bac¬ 
teriology, Sanitation, Morbid Anat¬ 
omy, Treatment of Infectious and 
Contagious Diseases, Physiology 
of the Absorbent and Circulatory 
Systems, etc., than any other man 
in the profession. 





From the Preface: 

“The Embalmers and Funeral 
Directors of this country have 
made frequent complaints that 
they were unable to find, in books 
on embalming heretofore publish¬ 
ed, such information as they desire 
on numerous topics of professional 
inquiry, especially those which 
have been the subject of recent 
investigation or introduction. 

“To meet this confessed demand 
for a work of more modern charac¬ 
ter along this line, the preparation 
of the Champion Text Book on 
Embalming was undertaken. 

“The purpose of the author has 
been to supply, within the com¬ 
pass of a single volume of moder¬ 
ate size, the information necessary 
to a full understanding of the sub¬ 
jects belonging properly to the 
science and art of embalming.” 


the Champion Cext-BooK on embalming embodies the 
V'l/llv result of many Years of Research and Practice « « « 


The book is full of information of just the character Funeral Directors and Embalmers need 
every day in their business. While the treatment is scientific, it is not so technical but that 
any one of ordinary intelligence can understand and profit by its perusal. 

The book is divided into four general heads; The Human Body; Embalming; Morbid Anat¬ 
omy, and Sanitation and Disinfection. Part First gives the preliminary knowledge so necessary 
to an intelligent understanding of the art. All the best modern methods of embalming are 
set forth and explained in such a plain and straightforward manner that any one can take them 
up and practice them. The description and treatment of special diseases, including all the 
difficult cases coming into a Funeral Director’s experience, are much fuller than ever before 
attempted, making this portion of the book alone worth many times its cost. Not the least 
valuable part is that devoted to sanitation and disinfection.

F you have ever taken a course in embalming you need the Champion Text-Book 
on Embalming for review of your course, to consult when you have a difficult case 
to handle, and for more thorough and systematic study with a view of adding to 
your proficiency. 

If, on the other hand, you have never had the advantages a thorough course of instruction 
can give, its value to you will be all the greater. By mastering its contents your ability to con¬ 
duct your business in an intelligent and successful manner will be greatly increased. 

The Champion 

Is a whole library in itself—a veritable cyclopedia of the art. Written by men of such acknowl¬ 
edged ability, the work is the highest authority on the subject. Though treating largely of 
technical matters, the language is so plain and the explanation so clear that any one can 
easily comprehend. 

The book is a large volume of over five hundred pages and makes a handsome appearance, 
being a fine specimen of the printer's art. It is printed on the best of book paper and the letter 
press is well-nigh perfect. The Physiological diagrams and anatomical charts of the human 
body, with which the work is so profusely illustrated, are the finest, and double the number, 
ever used in a similar publication. It is employed as a text-book in the 

I 

Champion College of Kmbalming 


And is not, like so many technical works, unfit for exhibition and use in an audience made 
up of the two sexes. Neither is there anything in the book to make it unsuitable for circulation 
in the family circle. 

But no brief description can give any adequate idea of the value and importance of this 
volume to the Funeral Director and Embalmer. It must be seen and perused to be appreciated. 
Suffice it to say, that, once possessed, many times the cost price would be no inducement to 
part with it, could it not be replaced. It is simply invaluable.

Champion Instrument Grips 

Our Style A Grip. 

For elegance, durability and convenience, cannot be surpassed. In its manufacture 
we have secured an article that will meet the requirements of those desiring a strictly 
high-grade Grip. The material, workmanship, and general make-up, inside and out, 
show it to be just what we claim for it, 

The Finest and Best Grip on the Market. 



Style A Grip. 


Grip Open, with Instrument Tray in Place. 

I 

Style A Grip is made of the very best quality olive green, or black pebbled grain 
leather, and is lined throughout with heavy kid leather. The instrument flaps are also of 
heavy kid leather, lined with chamios. The tray is separate and removable. The frame 
is of steel, and the mountings and clasps are highly polished brass, giving the Grip a very 
handsome and attractive appearance. The latest and best design of Yale locks is used. 
The Grip is made especially strong and firm, and combines every desirable feature found 
in the best makes sold. The size is: height, 14 inches; length, 16 inches; breadth,9 inches. 
The interior arrangement is exceptionally convenient. There are four separate metal re¬ 
movable compartments for bottles, and a large metal central compartment, also removable, 
in which can be placed two extra bottles (when desired), the pumps and sundries. A de¬ 
scription of the Instrument Tray will be found on page 19.

Our Style A Grip is the acme of perfection. Stocked with the Instruments and Appliances 
included in our No. 81 Outfit, nothing equal to it, for completeness and desirability, can be 
found. 

If you desire a really first-class Grip, secure one of these elegant and substantial 
affairs. 

You will notice that Style A Grip is much higher than our other styles, and has the appear¬ 
ance of a handsome traveling valise. It costs more money than any other Grip on the market, 
but it is well worth every cent it costs. 



Style A Grip. 

Grip Open, with Four Bottles; Instrument Tray Removed. 


The Champion Instrument Grips, all styles, are made to hold six bottles, but the Outfits, 
as priced, include but four, which is the number most generally ordered. When six are desired 
add fifty cents to the price quoted, for the two extra bottles. These extra bottles add greatly 
to the completeness of an Outfit, and are found very desirable, especially in difficult cases, 
such as Embalmers so often have to deal with. 

METAL AND ASEPTIC. The four compartments for the bottles and the large 
central one for instruments, etc., in All Champion Grips, are made of metal, and are 
consequently easily and quickly cleansed. Should a stopper come out or a bottle be broken, 
and the fluid spill out, it will be caught in the compartments and not injure the Grip. 
The Champion is the Only Make of Grips Using these Metal Aseptic Compartments. 

The Bottles are always carried in a standing position m Champion Grips, another point of 
excellence over many other grips.

lined section, for trocars and other large instruments; and two, nearly square, lined with blue 
or purple silk plush, for sundries. The cover is also lined with silk plush. On the back of 


the instrument flap is a large pocket for memoranda, etc.

Has hitherto been our most expensive Grip, and is superior to any similar priced Grip to 
be had. It is made of the best grade black pebbled grain leather, lined with heavy kid 
leather, with instrument flaps of heavy kid leather, chamois lined. The frame is substan¬ 
tially constructed, and the Yale Locks used are of the latest and best patterns and very 
desirable. The mountings and clasps are metal, finely nickel plated. Size, fifteen inches 
long, ten inches high, and nine inches broad. The instrument flaps are fastened with 
patent buttons, which make a very neat and secure fastening. See cuts on page 20. 

Six bottles can be packed in Style B, as well as the other styles, when desired. It is 
frequently very convenient to have extra bottles when removing blood or other fluid from 
a body. The modern “ Up-to-Date ” Grips should have the short, squat bottles, such as 
are furnished with our Champion Grips, in order to carry them in a standing position, 
instead of the old style high bottles. There is then no danger of the corks coming out, 
and the fluid wasting and injuring the Grip and instruments.

embalmed the body with Champion Fluid, and placed it in

We then shipped the body to Portugal, and learned that it 
arrived in good shape. We are well pleased with Champion, 
and think it rightly named. It has given us better results 
than any other fluid. Yours respectfully.

Aspirators and Injectors 

THE CHAMPION PUMPS 

The Champion Pumps are offered to Embalmers as the latest and best improved in¬ 
struments for the very important and thorough work required in an Aspirator and Injector. The 

Champion Pumps embody new ideas and new principles, and are the best on the market. 

Champion Pumps are made of the best quality of hard rubber, in a very superior man¬ 
ner, and are the highest embodiment of ingenuity and skill in perfecting desirable 
instruments for the Embalmer. They possess wonderful power, and yet are manipulated 
by the most delicate action. The resistance is so sensitive that a slight pressure of the 
thumb operates the pump. 

The Patent Piston is very sensitive to the touch, and therefore works smoothly, easily, 
and without exertion or trouble. 

The Suckers on the piston are provided with patent packing, which will retain the oil for a 
long period and not dry out. Therefore, the pump is always ready for use, and responds 
quickly, readily, and in a highiy satisfactory manner. In many other pumps the packing 
becomes dry, and the piston works very hard, requiring much force, and often becomes 
fast, or responds in a jerky and troublesome manner. 

The Tubing used in the Champion Pumps is made especially for us, of the best corrugated 
red rubber, with rolled ends ; is thick, firm, non-collapsible ; neither will it crack nor crease. 
In fact, it is anti-troublesome. We wish to call especial attention to the Rolled Ends, 
which essential feature places it ahead of that which is generally used on other pumps. 
Ordinarily it presents simply a straight, severed end, and the connections are annoying 
and troublesome to make. With the Rolled Ends connections are made in an easy 
manner, and without loss of time, and are air-tight and leakage-proof 

This Style Tubing costs more than twice as much as the ordinary kind, but we are ex¬ 
tremely anxious to give our customers the best, and to make the Champion the leading 
Pumps used by Embalmers. 

The Champion Hard Rubber Connecting Cut Offs, now furnished exclusively with 
our Pump Outfits, (unless otherwise requested), are also much superior to any other style. 

Each Valve Barrel is plainly marked showing which is the injector and which the 
aspirator side. 

The Champion Pumps can be used as Aspirators or Injectors. The action of the pumps 
is based upon atmospheric pressure, air being forced into the bottle containing the fluid, 
and this forces the fluid into the tubing and into the body. The fluid does not pass into 
the body of the pumps, therefore, the Champion Pumps will outlast the old style, and it 
is quite evident that the danger of soiling carpet, clothing and furniture is removed.

DIRECTIONS FOR OPERATING 

CHAMPION HARD RUBBER PUMPS 

-1 

Nos. 1, 2 and 3. 

To Inject Fluid into the Body .—Place gooseneck in bottle of fluid, with 10- 
inch piece of tubing attached to long stem ; attach 28-inch piece of tubing to upper end of 
short stem and 40-inch piece to long stem ; attach loose end of 40-inch tubing to arterial tube, 
which has been inserted into the artery; attach injector side of Pump to free end of 28-inch 
tubing; operate Pump, by placing thumb in ring on piston and second and third fingers on flat 
rim just below, and make a full stroke; this will force air into bottle, thus forcing fluid out of 
bottle into the artery. Inject slowly, and never allow air to enter artery as it would occupy space 
that should be filled by fluid. The same method should be used to inject the cavities, but less 
care need be taken about admitting air. 

To Aspirate Blood from the Body.— First remove io-inch piece of tub¬ 
ing attached to long stem in bottle ; then proceed exactly in same manner as when injecting, 
except that you attach aspirating (instead of injecting) side of Pump to 28-inch tubing. Now, 
when you operate Pump, you will draw, or exhaust, air from the bottle and create a vacuum 
therein, which causes the blood to flow from the body into the bottle. 

To Aspirate Blood and Inject Fluid Jointly.— Two bottles, two goose¬ 
necks, and two sets of tubing are required for these operations, which should not be performed 
simultaneously, but alternately. 

To Aspirate. —You will first raise the gooseneck out of the bottle containing fluid, 
and continue operating the pump until all the blood is removed that is possible. To Inject, 
tighten the gooseneck in fluid bottle and raise gooseneck out of the other bottle, and pump in a 
pint or two of fluid; then reverse the operation and continue the operations alternately until all 
the blood is removed that is possible, and still continue the injection until a sufficient quantity 
of fluid has been injected. 

When it is desired to increase the length of the 40-inch piece of tubing, the 28-inch piece 
can be connected to it by means of a hard rubber connecting link, or connecting cut-off, the 4- 
inch piece being used for attaching Pump to gooseneck. 

No fluid should ever get into the hard rubber pump, as it is used entirely for pumping air 
into the bottle when injecting and for pumping air out of the bottle when aspirating. The tubing 
will last longer if, after using, it is hung up and thoroughly dried.

Sherwood, O., Feb. 4, 1896.

Gentlemen: We have used a great many different kinds 
of fluids, but have found none to come up with Champion. 
In one case, where a lady died in childbirth, on account of 
friends coming from a distance we were compelled to keep 
the corpse six days. We only gave it cavity embalming with 
Champion, and yet had no trouble. She realiy looked better 
than when she was in good health. We could give many 
more such cases. For arterial work we do not think Cham¬ 
pion can be excelled. We would recommend it to all Em- 
balmers. Will never use any other fluid so long as it does 
the work it has done for us. Respectfully,

with the Champion Fluid. I had some very bad cases last 
year during the hot weather, and never had a failure. Jan¬

and were dead thirty-six hours before I took charge of the re¬ 
mains. 1 embalmed them with Champion Fluid and left them 
one week in the morgue, and then shipped them to New York 
City for burial, where they arrived in capital shape. I think 
Champion Fluid the best I ever used, and would not be with¬ 
out it. Sincerely yours,

The Valves used in No. 1 Pump (see

durable, not liable to bend, curl, nor be¬ 
come troublesome. They have a flat 
surface, so that the air pressure comes 
full and direct, making a powerful and 
instantaneous action. They fit tightly 
to the boxes, which obviates the danger 
of falling out and being injured or lost. 
The valve boxes are entirely separate 
from the pump, being attached to the end 
of the yoke-shaped tubing, which prevents 
oil from the piston coming in contact with 
the valves.

Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Dec. 13, 1895. 
Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: 1 have used Champion Fluid for years, and 1 
consider it one of the best fluids on the market. My opinion 
is, if the Undertaker does his part well, the fluid will do the 
rest. There are cheaper fluids on the market, but it pays the 
Undertaker to use the best, and then he need not lie awake 
nights worrying about the results. It will be all right if Cham¬ 
pion Fluid is used. Yours respectfully, 

H. H. MARTIN. 

LaRue, 0.. Dec. 10, 1895. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: 1 have thoroughly tested a number of dif¬ 
ferent kinds of fluids, and I am well convinced of the superi¬ 
ority of Champion Fluid over all others. 1 have had a 
number of very bad cases in the last year, and your fluid has' 
stood the test in all cases. The people are pleased to have 
their friends kept so nice, and I am well pleased to have the 
fluid do the work. Yours truly, 

G. A. L. MARKWITH.

Gentlemen: I have used the Champion Fluid, and can

be relied upon. Ship at once a 10-gallon keg.

and have always found it reliable, and of the many kinds I 
have used during the past fifteen vears Champion suits me 
best of all. Very truly yours, M. H. JOHNSON.

Greenfield, 0-, Dec. 11, 1895. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: I have put your embalming fluid to some of 
the severest tests that it possibly could be put to, and always 
found it equal to every emergency. One was the remains of 
a young man eaten up with disease. His joints were eaten 
out of their sockets and the body was a solid mass of corrup¬ 
tion. With Champion I succeeded in putting what was left 
of him in fine shape in very hot weather. A fluid that will 
keep a body like that will do anything. 

Very respectfully. WILLIAM CLOUSER.

as our Champion Hard Rubber Pumps. It cannot be used as an Aspirator. It consists of 
Bulb, Goose-neck, Metal Cut-off, and three pieces of our best Red Tubing with rolled ends

Gentlemen : I have used Champion Fluid in many diffi¬

the case of a young girl that I embalmed with Champion that 
was so perfectly lifelike that I was repeatedly asked if I had 
not resorted to the paint brush. Only last night, as I was 
closing my office, 1 received a call from the father of a two- 
year old child (that I had prepared with Champion in the 
morning) who asked me to come to the house as some of the 
ladies thought the corpse looked too natural. The child had 
died with capillary bronchitis, and was very dark about the 
face and lips after death. In ten hours after being prepared 
it was restored to the condition that produced the excitement. 

Very truly yours, J. K. BOWER.

small women and two large men, and 1 must say I was 
highly pleased with it, and had intended to order more direct 
from you. But there was an agent called on me that I buy 
funeral goods from, and in order to get it quicker I asked him 
if he sold the Champion. He said he did, but when it came it 
turned out to be another fluid. 1 did not want to send it 
back, but I will order some Champion shortly, directly from 
you. I won’t depend any more on the jobbers.

champion ARROW-POINTED embalming needles 

PATENTED JULY 28, 1896. 

uuu 

KEEPS SHARPER, PENETRATES STRAIGHTER, THAN ANY OTHER STYLE 

Champion Arrow-Pointed Embalming Needles are so much superior to any other kind 
that they are fast superseding the old styles. The price charged for such a grade of instru¬ 
ments is remarkably low. Once use Arrow-Pointed Needles and you will be satisfied with no 
other. 

The Arrow point is made of highly tempered steel, and is nickel-plated, so that it keeps clean 
and perfectly sharp. It will cut its way through clearly and enter the viscera, especially into 
the intestines when full of gas, in a manner very superior to the common Embalming Needle. 
If you wish to tap the heart, it will cut through smoothly and evenly, and not tear the flesh, and 
by turning it one-quarter way round it will make a clear opening, and not clog up. 


HARD RUBBER, Metal-Lined, with Nickel-Plated Steel Point 

This style will neither corrode nor become rusty and rough; consequently there is a 
constantly growing demand for them. An Embalmer who once uses them will never 
afterwards do without them.

ALUMINUM EMBALMING NEEDLES 


We have not quoted prices on Aluminum Needles, for the reason that practical experience 
has demonstrated that instruments coming into direct contact with the Fluid, when made of 
Aluminum, are quickly injured by the action of the Fluid. Besides, on account of the softness 
of the material, the points, edges and corners of such instruments are liable to be nicked and 
injured in handling. They also soon lose their luster, and become tarnished.

The cuts on the opposite page represent our line of embalming needles with common 
points. These needles are made of solid drawn steel and are heavily nickel-plated and will not 
split nor open. The points are highly tempered and we consider our needles superior to any 
heretofore offered to embalmers. A trial will convince you of their superiority. Our prices 
are low for first-class goods.

G. E. JONES 


Peru, Ind., Nov. 16, 1895. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: We used one barrel of your fluid with good 
success, and before finishing it consented to order other kinds 
of fluid on trial, but have decided to return to the u Cham¬ 
pion,” having recently ordered another lot from you. I have 
used all the best known fluids on the market. 

Respectfully yours, 

JAMES H. FETTER. 

Pocatello, Idaho, Dec. 25, 1895. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: I have only used one barrel of your Cham¬ 
pion Fluid, but with that I had occasion to embalm and ship 
several bodies, giving it a thorough test, which, in every 
case, gave the best of satisfaction. As a bleacher I have 
never found anything to equal it. It does all you claim for 
it, and I can honestly recommend it above all other fluids 1 
have used. 1 am nearly out, and will send in another order 
soon. Respectfully, M. WEDEKIND. 

Pawtucket, R. I., Dec. 12, 1895. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: 1 have used your fluid upon more than three 
hundred cases, and am satisfied with the results. I have had 
no reason to change, and have not done so. Your fluid, I 
would say, is improving, if such a thing were possible. 

Yours truly, WILLIAM H. O'NEILL. 

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 20, 1895. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: In the last seven years I have tried all the 
best known fluids on the market, but like Champion best. I 
used Champion on a body weighing 250 pounds, died with 
dropsy. I was telegraphed for, and found the body in a horrid 
state. Mortification had set in. I got the body in fine shape 
and looking natural again, and kept it four days when the 
funeral took place. Yours truly, 

H. BILLION. 
Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 13, 1895.

Gentlemen: We have used your fluid only for several 
years, and we are entirely satisfied with the results. We 
know it to be one 'of the best fluids on the market. 

Respectfully yours, G. E. JONES. 

Marietta, Pa., Dec. 30, 1895.

Gentlemen: I have been using Champion Fluid for some 
time with success in every instance. It is a strictly first-class

gives bodies such a lifelike appearance as Champion. I con¬ 
sider it reliable in all seasons of the year. 1 have not used 
an ice-box but once in over two years, and then it was by 
special request of the family. Yours respectfully, 

MRS. L. M. WHITE. 

Clinton, Iowa, Feb. 10, 1896. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: I have used your fluid several years, subject¬ 
ing it to.the most severe tests, and so far without failure. 

Have kept several cases from seven to eight weeks exposed to 
atmosphere without perceptible change in appearance. In 
fact, I consider it thoroughly reliable under any extremes of 
temperature, and practically perfect as a preservative. 

Yours truly,

I pronounce it the best fluid on the market. Have tested it in

Dayton, O., Dec. 10, 1895.

to its merits. Would not like to be without it, as I consider it 
the best fluid on the market. Truly yours,

Gentlemen: I will take the liberty of notifying all Under¬ 
takers and Embalmers not to use any other fluid than Cham¬

splendid success. It is an excellent fluid.

Gentlemen: To attest the merits of Champion Embalming 
Fluid, after its exclusive use for the last five years, is a 
pleasure. It has never failed me in a single case at any 
season of the year. The uniform standard maintained in its 
quality and price is best proof of its merits. With an in¬ 
creasing business I have no use for the so-called cheap fluids, 
used only with doubtful results; on the contrary, I shall con¬ 
tinue the use of the Champion Fluid so long as its manufac¬

Champion Embalming Fluid the next trial, as it will do all 
and even more than is claimed for it as a preservative, be¬ 
sides being a perfect disinfectant and bleacher. 

Yours truly,

Champion SILK-WRAPPED Flexible Tubes 



The Champion Silk-Wrapped Flexible Tubes are of the best manufacture and are very 
flexible and durable, being practically unaffected by cold or the corrosive nature of embalming 
fluids. We now ship these Tubes in large, square, pasteboard boxes. 

No. 520. Basilic Vein Tube. This tube is used for draining blood from the head, neck 
and right auricle of the heart, which is the center of the venous system. This can 
be done without any mutilation whatever of the heart, and without the loss practically 
of a drop of blood. The Flexible Tube is introduced into the left basilic vein, passed 
upward through the axillary and sub-clavian veins and downward through the left in¬ 
nominate and superior vena cava veins into the right auricle of the heart. After the 
tube has been thus inserted the Aspirator is attached to the Tube, and during the 
operation the Tube should be worked slowly back and forth in order to bring the open¬ 
ing in its end at the junction of the right innominate, the left internal jugular and 
other smaller veins. After the tube is withdrawn the basilic vein is securely tied above 
and below the incision. The object of using the left basilic vein is owing to the fact 
that the venous course from the left basilic vein to the right auricle of the heart is a 
more gradual curve than that of the right side. Length 24 inches. Five sizes: 8, 

9, 10 , 11, 12 and 14 . Price each, $1 25 

No. 52J. The Femoral Vein Tube is used for the purpose of drawing blood from the 
heart through the femoral vein when that vein is preferred to the basilic vein. Length 
33 inches. Five sizes, 8, 9, 10 , 11 . 12 and 14 . Price each, $1 75 

No. 522. The Stomach Tube is intended for removal of the contents of the stomach 
and injecting fluid into the alimentary canal. Length 33 inches. Five sizes, 14, 

15, 16, 18 and 20.Price each, $ I 75 

In ordering these Tubes always add size desired to Tube number. 


Champion Patent Eye Surgeons’ Needles 

These Needles have a split head through which the 
thread is passed without the usual tedious process of 
threading through the eye. While these needles are 
very convenient, they are not as durable as the common 
eye needles. 

No. 524, Full Curve ... ) 

No. 525, Half Curve Price each, 10 cts. or 3 for 25 cts. 
No. 526, Straight \

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen : Champion is the best all around fluid I ever 
used. 1 have been embalming for the last seventeen years, 
and, while 1 never used cheap fiuid, I must say I have had 
the best results from the Champion. I can conscientiously 
say to my brother Embalmers, that if they will properly dis¬ 
tribute Champion Fluid they need have no fear of the results 
under the most unfavorable circumstances. 1 find by expe¬ 
rience that the Champion hardens the flesh in a short time. 
It does not shrink the face, but gives and retains a lifelike 
appearance, and is a good bleacher. Respectfully.

CHAMPION PATENT ALL-RUBBER SUCTION LEECHER 

Or Cupping Instrument 

A Radical Departure in Leechers. Far

For aspiration of subcutaneous, dropsical effusion from 
any portion of the body, it is unequalled. Equally useful in 
removal of slight discolorations upon the surface, 

AND FOR ALL PURPOSES FOR 
WHICH A LEECHER, OR CUPPING 
INSTRUMENT, IS EVER USED. 

Not only Best but Cheapest . 

INTERIOR VIEW. Can Be Eeastly Taken Apart and Cleansed . 

Showing Puncturing Points. 

The Champion All-Rubber Leecher consists of two 
parts, a bell-shaped cup of best red soft rubber, and a punctur¬ 
ing head of hard rubber, provided at the lower end with a 
number of needle-like points, and at the upper end with a 
connection for attaching the aspirator. When placed on 
the part of the body from which the water is to be removed 
the flexibility of the soft rubber cup allows the puncturing 
points to be pushed down so as to puncture the skin, return¬ 
ing to its original position when released. Upon attaching 
and operating the aspirator the rim of the cup readily con¬ 
forms to the surface, however uneven, and a perfect vacuum 
is the result, causing the water to flow through the punctures 
into the cup. By continuing the operation the water can be 
speedily and completely removed.

No. 567. The Champion Automatic Cut-off, or Float Valve, should 
always be used when fluid is injected into the arteries by means cf 
atmospheric pressure. It is placed on the discharge tubing leading 
from the goose-neck into the fluid. As the fluid is discharged from 
the bottle the Float (2) follows down the stem (1), and before the 
fluid is discharged sufficientiy to allow the air to enter the openings 
(4) (4). the Float (2) closes them, and thus prevents any air going 
into the artery. The Cut-off can be readily cleaned cf any sediment 
from the fluid by simply removing a screw plug from the base (3).

Champion Chin Supporters 

No. 570. The Champion Hard Rubber Chin Sup¬ 
porter is, by all means, the best supporter on the market. 

It is made in two parts. The inner slide, to which is 
attached the chin rest, is notched its entire length, so 
that, as it is pulied out, it catches on the corresponding 
notches in the outer part, and is firmiy held. The sup¬ 
port, when closed, is three inches long (exact size cf 
cut), and is capable of being extended two inches, which 
allows it to be adjusted exactly for each subject. When 
it is desired to shorten the supporter the inner slide is 
turned one-fourth round, and it will readily slip back.

Satisfactory ever Offered to the 
T rade. 



No. 575 


Are Indispensable when Remains are to 
be Shipped any Distance, and on all 
Consumptive Cases. 


THE CHAMPION EYE CAPS WILL NOT LOSE THEIR SHAPE IN WARM WEATHER. 

They keep the eyelids closed and preserve the natural fullness of the eyes, after death 

They are made by a newly invented process, and are the best Caps ever offered to the trade. 

The body of the Cap is made of specially prepared wax that is not affected by hot weather. 

They are all alike in shape, size and beauty of finish, and are far superior to the shapeless, 
irregular and common caps generally furnished to Embalmers. 

They can be readily adjusted to suit any shaped eye. For children, trim off the Cap to fit 
the size of the eye. 

Directions for Using —Introduce the Cap under the lower eyelid, and bring the lid up 
over the Cap; then pass the Cap under the upper eyelid, and bring the lid down over the Cap 
far enough to partly cover the lower lid if possible. 

Price, 75 Cents Per Dozen.

This is a small brass chain, with hooks on 
the ends, which may be passed around

Champion Seamless Rubber Gloves 

Are made from the purest Para rubber, 
scientifically treated and incorporated with 
healing agents, making them the most per¬ 
fect protective, healing and toilet gloves 
ever made. 

These Gloves, being thin, tough, smooth, 
seamless and impervious, are particularly 
desirable for use of Undertakers and Em- 
balmers in handling the dead, as a protection 
against blood poison and disease. Being 
made from pure gum they are very thin and do not interfere with the most delicate work. It is through 
the contact of the hands of the operator with a dangerous subject that blood poisoning or disease is acquired; 
hence, no corpse should be handled without the protection of a pair of these gloves. 

In the household their uses are varied, and their value incalculable. Ladies can beautify their hands 
by wearing them at night; can remove wrinkles, callouses, tan, sallowness, freckles, etc.; cure chapped 
hands in one night. 

Measurement—Give exact circumference between thumb and knuckles without compressing the hand, 


in inches; this will be the size needed.

ing a cut or sore that would otherwise be exposed to 
danger of blood poisoning. 

These cots are smooth, thin, tough and do not ob¬ 
struct the sense of touch a particle. Made from the 
finest old Para rubber, they are especially adapted to 
all purposes where the old style heavy and clumsy 
cots are inadequate. 

They should never be pulled on or off the finger, 
but unrolled onto the finger, and rolled off the f.nger.

Absorbent Cotton is used in dropsical cases to absorb the water escaping out through the punctures 
made by the leecher. It is also used to fill up the opening where an artery has been raised. It will absorb 
the temporary leakage of some smaller branch of the artery, after the operation is finished, and before 
stitching up the skin. It is also used in padding the cheeks of persons whose features present a sunken 
emaciated appearance. It is superior to cloth to cover the face, as it is lighter.

is accomplished with but few applications, on 
account of the length of time “Lintine ” will

being shipped, it reaches its destination with a 
moist, fresh appearance, and the friends are 
pleased. In this connection alone it is invalu¬ 
able to any undertaker. It readily accommo¬

Ciimax Embalming Table 



The Climax is one of the most extensively used Embalming Tables on the market, and has the endorse¬ 
ment of thousands of the best Funeral Directors of this and foreign countries. It is simple in construction, 
light to handle, easy to operate and more durable than any other style. For removing bodies from one 
room to another, carrying them up or down stairs, it is excelled by none. 

These Tables are made of well-selected black walnut or oak, and finished in hard oil. The canopy is 
made of fine white goods, with fringe and tassels, and easily arranged so as to hang gracefully over the 
Table. In the accompanying cut you will notice: first, that the head elevation can be raised to about 
forty-five degrees ; second, that the slot in the head elevation allows an easy method of placing a shroud on 
the body without turning over; third, that the tape slides are so arranged that any part of the canopy may 
be removed without soiling.

Gentlemen: Andrew Wehrle, a prominent wine merchant, 
proprietor of the Golden Eagle wine cellars, Middle Bass 
Island, Lake Erie, died January 12. I embalmed the body, 
using Champion Fluid, after which it laid in state in a vault 
in this city, where it was viewed daily. At least a thousand 
people looked upon the remains during this time, and its life¬ 
like appearance was generally and favorably commented 
upon. The regular funeral took place April 12 from the 
family residence on Middle Bass Island, and the body was in 
a perfect state of preservation. I have tried almost all the 
best fluids on the market, but am well pleased with Cham¬ 
pion, and will now use it to the exclusion of all others. 

Yours very truly, CHAS. J. ANDRES.

Every Funeral Director Knows what a difficult task it is to remove a body from a bed or cooling- board and carry 
it from one room into another, or from a room that is up four or five stories in a business block, and carry it down several flights of 
stairs. There is an easy way to do it and that is by means of the Champion Body Carrier. 

One Great Advantage in the Champion Body Carrier is the fact that it is very easy for two persons to 
remove a heavy body from a bed to a cooling board, and from a cooling- board to deposit the remains into a casket, or to carry a 
body up or down several flights of stairs. 

Another Very Important Advantage in Favor of the Champion Stretcher is that with it bodies 
can be lowered into the casket without handling them with the hands, and the lining is not disturbed in the least.

The Improved Boyd Patent Burglar-Proof Grave Vault 

THE GREAT GRAVE ROBBER FOILER 

truer 

Over 40,000 Human Bodies Mutilated Every Year on 
Dissecting Tables in Medical Colleges in the United States 


No More Desecrating the Graves of Our Dead 
The Boyd Grave Vault is absolutely Safe*? 6 ^ 


The subject of protecting our loved ones when laid in their (supposed) “last resting place," is one 
that has long agitated the public mind, but not until the introduction of the Boyd Grave Vault was the 
problem solved. 

The Improved Boyd Vault is made of a steel casing, firmly riveted together, which forms the top ; the 
bottom is composed of heavy angle iron for framework and a steel plate for bottom sheet, all being 
most thoroughly riveted together. 

The rivets and bolts are concealed by additional iron, so that it would be absolutely impossible to locate 
their exact position, even if the ghouis should go to the trouble of doing the additional amount of exca¬ 
vating that would be necessary to reach this portion of the vault. 

To make the vault Burglar Proof the base is provided with six heavy steel spring hooks, which attach 
themselves to lugs on the inside of the top casing as it is placed in position. 

When closed it is impossible to open the vault, except to cut the top casing entirely open, which 
would require a mechanic to work at least twenty-four (24) hours with the best of tools, which, of course 
would render any attempt at grave robbing futile. 

The ends of the vault are made of the best malleable iron, are handsomely paneled and have raised 
letters finished in gold bronze. 

The vaults are thoroughly painted both inside and outside, and finished in imitation of rosewood and 
ebony. 

The top of the Boyd Vault rests solidly on the bottom, and being convex in shape, the pressure of 
the earth is equally distributed on all sides, which prevents the possibility of its being crushed when the 
grave is filled. 

The Boyd Vault protects both the casket and body from dampness, mould and decay, and from 
burrowing animals and vermin.

Westerly, R. I., Dec. 26, 1895. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: From what experience 1 have had with 
Champion Fluid, I find it does all you claim for it, and I shall 
continue to use it. I think it is an excellent Fluid. 

Yours truly, CHARLES H. GAVITT. 

OF THE H. B. Gavitt Co. 

Independence, Ia., Jan. 7, 1896. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Dear Sirs: I have used your Fluid in large quantities for 
some years with the most remarkable success. I have put it 
to many extraordinarily severe tests with the greatest satisfac¬ 
tion in every instance. Respectfully yours, 

P. C. HEEGE.

Cape May C. H., N. J., Jan. 8, 1896. 
Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: 1 have been using your Champion Fluid for 
three years, and find it the best I have ever used. I have 
never lost a case when using Champion Fluid. It is un¬ 
doubtedly the best bleacher on the market to-day. 

Yours very truly, 

CHARLES F. GARRETSON. 


Emmetsburg. Ia., Jan. 15, 1896.

Gentlemen: As far as I have used Champion Fluid, I 

think it is O- K. I believe that there is none better made. 

Yours truly, HENRY DIMLER.

Columbus, O., Dec. 9, 1895.

Gentlemen: I have given your Fluid repeated trials and 
thorough tests during the hottest weather and find it all it is 

claimed to be and equal to all emergencies. 

Respectfully, H. A. PLETCHER. 


Frenchtown, N. J., Aug. 8, 1895. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: Please send me ten gallons of Champion 
Fluid. During the hot spell in June, 1895, I kept a body 107 
hours, and at the expiration of that time the body was in per¬ 
fect condition. I used the Champion, and do not hesitate to 
say I have had better results with Champion than any other 
Fluid, and I have used a great many kinds. 

Respectfully, G- W. HUMMER. 



G. W. HUMMER 



Belle Vernon, Pa., Jan. 1, 1896. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: We have used your Fluid and find that it gives 
the best of results, and can recommend it to all wishing a 
good Fluid. Yours respectfully, 

C. REPPERT & SON. 


Brainerd, Minn., July 11, 1896. 

Champion Chemical Co. 

Gentlemen: We have tapped the keg and tested the Fluid, 
doing both cavity and arterial work with it. A Fluid that 
will keep a body sweet and nice for three or four days by 
cavity injection alone, when the mercury is 90° in the shade, 
is a great boon to the majority of undertakers. I believe your 
Fluid will do this. Yours truly, 

A. E. LOSEY. 

for Losey & Dean.

Champion Embalming Needles with Cut-Off. 

Hard Rubber, Metal Lined, with Steel Point Nickeled. 

The Cut-Off with our Patent Arterial Tubes has proven so useful and popular that a demand 
was made for a similar Cut-Off with our line of Hard Rubber Embalming Needles. We there¬ 
fore take pleasure in presenting same to the trade, believing that their desirable points will at 
once suggest themselves to all. Very often it is necessary to leave the needle remain in the 
body for a second injection; with this permanently attached Cut-off it is always ready for 
immediate use for closing the Needle. The Cut-off also allows the Embalmer to regulate the 
flow of fluid or completely cut it off at will. Do not attempt to turn Cut-off before removing 
the cleaning rod. 

We furnish every style of our popular Hard Rubber, Metal Lined, Embalming; Needles 

with the Cut-off, as shown below.

Champion Diamond-Pointed Cardiac Needles 

The Champion Diamond-Pointed Cardiac Needle is the result of long experience and 
careful study and is the acme of perfection for the purpose for which it is especially intended— 
the aspiration of blood from the body by tapping the heart. 

The point, which is extra long, is provided with six slots, so arranged as to best serve its 
purpose, namely to be wholly within the heart when that organ has been properly tapped. It is 
made of best tempered steel, allowing it, (when kept in proper condition) to make a clean, 
smooth cut. 

This style of Needle, while intended principally for the object mentioned, is a superb instru¬ 
ment for any other use to which a trocar is ever put, and is consequently preferred by many to 
any other style. Hence we make it in all the regular lengths and styles as shown below. We 
would, however, caution against the use of an instrument intended for tapping the heart for any 
other purpose, on account of the necessity of keeping it perfectly sharp for this object.

Champion Patent Arterial Tubes and Cut-Off 

These Tubes are a late invention for which we hold letters patent. They possess many 
features of value over the old styles of arterial tubes and their use gives universal satisfaction. 
With them the flow of fluid can be instantly checked, regulated or completely arrested. When 
the arteries are filled, by closing the Cut-Off, the Tube can be removed without danger of any 
fluid leaking and soiling the clothing or carpet. When it is necessary to leave the Tube in the 
artery for a second injection, no thimble is necessary; simply close the Cut-Off. The Cut-Off 
is detachable, and will fit either size Tube. Each Tube is furnished with a light leather washer.

Bithymol is invaluable for spraying purposes in cases

is absolutely non-poisonous and does not stain fabrics of 
any kind. As a protection to operators it should be

in contact with the contagious diseases it may be taken 
internally in doses of one teaspoonful three times a day. 
It is a fragrant and powerful insecticide, destroying in¬ 
stantly all sorts of insects and vermin. 

Bithymol will not leave a disagreeable odor peculiar 
to many other preparations. 

The Atomizer furnished with Bithymol is one of the

The Champion Hypodermic Solution is a 95 per cent, alcoholic preparation 
ot unequalled value to an Embalmerand Funeral Director. When used under 
the skin, by means of a hypodermic syringe, it will almost instantly remove 
discolorations. 

When applied to the face with a sponge or wet cloth it preserves and restores 
the lifelike appearance to the corpse. Absorbent Cotton or Lintine saturated 
with the Hypodermic Solution and placed over the face for a short time, gives 
an excellent effect. It whitens and hardens the skin better than any similar 
preparation. 

When used in erysipelas cases, it greatly modifies and improves the condi¬ 
tion of the skin and disinfects the parts. 

Apply pure in all cases. Always keep bottles covered from the light. Handle 
with care, as the preparation is poisonous.

These Tablets are a very convenient and effective form of disinfectant, a small bottle being carried in

of this strength after an operation. This will remove the foul odor which usually clings to the hands. The 
Tablets are strictly non-poisonous.

in danger of infection and contagion by inhaling the poisonous germs from 
a corpse or the sick room. No one can afford to take any chances when 
a preventive is provided at such reasonable expense. A box of Lozenges 
should always be carried in the vest pocket and a few of the Lozenges 
placed in the mouth and allowed to slowly dissolve in cases of danger.

Champion Pastilles furnish a fragrant form of deodorizer, which will also be found an effective disinfectant. 
Hydronaphthol is incorporated with aromatic resins, possessing antiseptic properties readily volatilized by 
heat. In burning, it is distributed throughout the apartments settling itself in imperceptible particles on 
the drapery, carpets, etc., from which it is gradually absorbed by the moisture in the atmosphere, thus 
affording a means of continued purification. 

Tightly close the door before igniting the Pastilles, then withdraw from the room. After leaving it closed 
for an hour or so, give free ventilation. Clothing can be disinfected by leaving it in the room during the 
fumigating process. It is well to use Pastilles even when death results from a non-contagious disease, 
as it purifies the atmosphere of the room. 

The Pastilles will also be found efficient in driving away flies, mosquitoes and other insect pests.

SULPHUR CANDLES Sr 

Sulphurous Acid Gas is probably the most powerful and effectual disinfectant for all ordinary purposes, 
and being a gas is more searching in its effects than solid or liquid agents; hence the convenience of these 

Sulphur Candles. 

They are furnished in two forms, the larger candle, in a decorated tin container, holds one pound of sulphur, 
burns for about two hours, and is capable of yielding nearly twelve cubic feet of pure sulphurous acid 
gas, at normal temperature and pressure, which is generally considered sufficient for disinfecting 1,000 cubic 
feet of space. 

The smaller candle is in a porous container, and as the efficacy of sulphurous acid gas for disinfecting 
purposes is greatly intensified by being generated in a moist state, and as the water comes into more 
immediate contact with the burning sulphur in this container, a better result follows. One of these candles 
yields fully one-third the quantity of pure sulphurous acid gas given off by the larger size candles, but by 
placing smaller candles in different parts of an apartment the process is quicker and more thorough, the 
oxygen in the air of the apartment being also necessary for the formation of the gas. 

These candles afford the only safe means of burning sulphur, 
and thus destroy germs after deaths from infectious diseases, 
and in vacated apartments, etc.; also for disinfecting bedding, 
clothing and drapery; also in destroying the noxious vapors 
from sewers, cesspools, etc. They are authorized and used by 
Boards of Health both at home and abroad. They are easily 
lighted and continue to burn with such regularity that perfect 
combustion ensues, the production of sulphurous acid gas being 
gradual and its effects reliable. Place in a vessel of water 
before lighting.

HEN pale and cold the friends we love are lying— 
Death’s speechless silence o’er them like a pall— 
All answer to our pleading cries denying, 

Whose wailing accents upon deaf ears fall, 

How grievous is the thought of that corruption 
So soon to seize on the beloved clay, 

QJJ V Whose putrid touch makes loathsome our conception 
Of what our hearts held dearest yesterday. 

The swollen lips that won our fondest kisses, 

The purple hollows ’neath the sunken eyes, 

The blue shade on the cheek where our caresses 
Caused flush of a responsive love to rise; 

* The sickening odor sense of smell saluting, 

The rapid progress of the gangrene’s way— 
Death’s minions with their mighty chief disputing 
Supremacy of claim to horror’s sway— 

Ere Mother Earth from our averted glances 
Unto her breast has caught the crumbling dust, 

And with the turf, above which sunlight dances, 
Compassionately hides her sacred trust; 

With %vhat relief the anguished heart embraces 
The knowledge science to the world supplies. 

That Champion Fluid loathsomeness effaces, 

Which the embalmer by his art applies. 

It stays the work decay is executing, 

Restores the lifelike hue to love so dear, 

Retards the changes precious forms polluting, 

And, as they were, preserves their semblance here. 

We know Death of his prey may not be cheated— ([ CmTs 

That man who sprang from dust, to dust must go— 

Yet his putrescent train may be defeated osJu& 

By Champion Fluid in arterial flow. 

And when, beneath the violets and daisies, rif® 

The treasures of our hearts are lying low, 

No hideous thought, like Banquo’s ghost,upraises, 

Unwelcome head, its horrid mien to show. 

But, as they were, we always may recall them, 

Asleep, while waiting for that blessed day 
On which the resurrection trump shall call them, ff JI 

When all the shadows shall have fled away. 

Minnie IV. Raines-Miller,
